    It's important to know how influential this band was to music...especially punk music, but not limited to that. Dave Grohl grew up in DC and loved Bad Brains. The Beastie Boys have a double B name because they loved the Bad Brains so much AND they started as a punk band. Ian Mackaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat, Teen Idles) and Henry Rollins (Black Flag, Rollins Band, Liar Guy) were TEENAGERS when they would brave the junkie squats and rough spots of DC to go to Bad Brains shows. The legend goes that Henry Rollins was finally urged to be a singer after HR (lead singer of Bad Brains) leapt on top of Henry...pinning him to the floor...and singing just inches from his face at a show at Madam's Organ (Adam's Morgan district....DEATH for white people) which was an art collective/junkie squat the band stayed at/played at for a while. Ian and Henry were relatively well-off white kids from the burbs, but they risked life and limb to be at those shows. Check DC in the Late 70s and Early 80s. You wouldnt let your teen go out to the bad neighborhoods at night!

      Adams Morgan was NOT a scary/dangerous area in those years, I lived there. (And... just saying... this is the first time I've ever heard the Madams Organ venue connected with heroin use. Maybe, maybe not -- sometimes I was naive about stuff like that. ) Favorite Madam's Organ memory: going there with Jello Biafra and mutual friends to see the Band Psychodrama -- show ended with the singer stripping naked and running out onto 18th street to fall down on the sidewalk, begging passersby to kill him for Jesus.
      EDIT: The area got a bit dodgier after crack hit the streets, but that wasn't until the mid-to-late 80s.

    The Bad Brains were, in fact, banned from the clubs in Washington, D.C., but this was after the song was recorded, and yielded the song, "At The Atlantis" (The Atlantis is now known as The 9:30 Club). However, BEFORE "Banned In D.C." was recorded, the band had been sent back from an attempted tour in the U.K. when clubs would not book them.

      @@KH-ol6qz Hardcore pretty much started with Black Flag, when the first wave of punk morphed into New Wave, Goth and Post-Punk, and they decided to strip the music back down to its essence, just as Punk originally did, and for that reason, called it hard core. First true hardcore album was Middle Class’s debut, Out Of Vogue, beating Black Flag’s Nervous Breakdown EP by mere days. According to American Hardcore, and the bands interviewed, Black Flag brought hardcore to the East Coast when they toured through DC, New York and Boston. Bad Brains influenced pretty much everyone there, but they were a Jazz Fusion group from 76-79… after a friend introduced them to punk, they started messing around with it and in 1979, decided to officially become a punk band, naming themselves Bad Brains after the Ramones track, Bad Brain, from the album Road To Ruin, released Sept 1978.

    • @hugomontoya9029
      @hugomontoya9029 ปีที่แล้ว

      I... think... the problem wasn't that clubs wouldn't book them, but they had trouble with visas/work permits -- they hadn't gotten the documents that would allow them to perform in paying venues? IIRC, the Damned invited them to go back with them after they played together in DC, but theey neglected to do the legal shit first.

      Im 34 and literally JUST discovered this band... only bc I was watching Steve-O's Wild Ride Podcast on YT with his guest comedian FRED ARMISEN. During the Podcast he asks Fred what his top-5 Punk albums all-time are and Fred mentions Bad Brains - I Against I. Steve-O Literally busts outloud saying "I KNEW IT - MINE TOO". They both went on to basically say that Bad Brains might be the best punk band of all-time!
      I researched them right after the podcast and was BLOWN AWAY with how good that band is. I personally for YEARS was wondering why there was never a full black HARD ROCK BAND and low and behold at the age of 34 I FOUND THEM!!! Bad Brains is the best full on hardcore punk/ alternative metal/ punk rock band EVER TO EXIST!! So glad I watched that podcast of Steve-Os!
      I went on ebay this week and got I Against I on vinyl! Looking at their 82' album too. Bad Brains - Bad Brains.
      I gotta say Re-Ignition, Right Brigade, She's calling you, are some of my early fav songs of theirs.

    Just in case you weren’t aware this is four Ras, dreads since they hit the scene in the late 70’s who single handedly shape the American Punk aesthetic and influenced 1000’s of musicians since!
    When I was 13 HR helped sneak me into a show at the local dive bar. Red Hot Chili Peppers opened (think around 1988). Flash forward a decade and I ended up being a babysitter for Dr. No’s kids! Life can be a crazy road!

Mackey was a friend of mine he was a drummer for a while .Ty was a great singer but also another friend of mine Chuck trees he played with them for a while too but it all came back to the originals, just it tore up. There's a lot of black bands out there who tear it up punk, metal ,,punk funk and others genres. thank you for introducing people in The bad brains I hope you just don't stop at this song.

    Without Bad Brains there is no HipHop music as it is now. There is a direct chain of history from Bad Brains to all HipHop. The Bad Brains were the key inspiration for the Beastie Boys, who went on to have one of the first huge HipHop records and got many of the first major HipHop artists signed to a record company (DefJam). Bad Brains were one of the first (if not the first) bands to start the music style known as American Hardcore. On a side note......most early HipHop acts could only book gigs in Punk venues during the 1980s.

      They weren't the actual fastest band though back then there were hardcore punk bands like Asocial, Youth Korps, Negative Fx doing blastbeats. Even The Middle Class's late 70s songs were of the same pace as them. But bad brains were highly influential for sure

    H.R.wrote this song after the show at the old 9:30 club in D.C.it was the late 1980’s BAD BRAINS got banned for the rebel rousing that happened that night..THE HARDCORE and PUNK ROCK seen in D.C. was incredible. GREATEST times being there,and coming up as a Reagen youth.GOGO BANDS played at a lot of the same venues and clubs..

    I love the channel, but sometimes I question the people choosing the songs for you guys. NOT TODAY. Your community KILLED IT with the punk recommendations. The bands were the exact right bands and the songs were worthy. Some knowledgeable punk fans in the Coach Gang, it would seem. I would have chosen Supertouch/Shitfit for Bad Brains and maybe Bankrobber for The Clash, but I LOVED the Black Flag pick (song and band) and Holiday In The Sun is KIND OF a deep cut for the Sex Pistols. They only have one album and it was famous, but it still isnt one of the top 3 most famous Sex Pistols songs (while it might be their best). Well done....what a fun day of reactions.

    Bad Brains are legends! Jamaican rasta punk. Yes punk rock songs are usually short and straight to the point. Lot of it has no guitar solos or very short solos. Brad Brains are one of the few that plays good solos. jaja. Also see Bad Brains song "Fearless Vampire Killers! They also play reggae too by the way ! Also need to see songs "Oblivion"! "I Don't Need Society"! "Nursing Home Blues"! from D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) another good punk metal group.

    The song is about them being banned in their home town of Washington DC. If you guys ever have time watch the documentary American Hardcore. It focuses about many issues and many bands. One of the issues it focuses on is how all the local clubs in DC refused to let the bad brains play at the clubs so they moved to New York and the music scene changed over night.

    from wikipedia: Bad Brains are an American hardcore punk band formed in Washington, D.C. in 1976. Originally a jazz fusion band under the name Mind Power, they are widely regarded as pioneers of hardcore punk,[1][2][3] though the band's members have objected to the use of this term to describe their music.[4] They are also an adept reggae band, while later recordings featured elements of other genres like no wave, funk,[5] heavy metal,[1] hip hop, and soul.[5] Rolling Stone magazine called them "the mother of all black hard-rock bands",[6] and they have been cited as a seminal influence to numerous subgenres of heavy metal, including thrash/speed metal, alternative metal, funk metal and rap/nu metal.[7][8] Bad Brains are followers of the Rastafari movement.[5]
    Bad Brains have released nine studio albums. They have broken up and reformed several times over their career, sometimes with different singers or drummers. Their classic lineup includes singer H.R., guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jenifer, and drummer Earl Hudson. This lineup was intact until 1987 and has reunited periodically in the years since.
    Many notable bands and artists cite Bad Brains as an artistic influence on their music, including the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Clutch, Green Day, the Offspring, the Roots, Lamb of God, No Doubt, Anthrax, Living Colour, Fishbone, and Sublime.
